It’s helpful for me to remember that a lot of discourse boils down to I’m really struggling or afraid or angry and don’t politically know what to do to stop it but I won’t just say that.

Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Grateful to @prisonculture.bsky.social and @mskellymhayes.bsky.social for sharing this now. “Violence” is an eminently flexible term and its operational definition is dependent on who’s deploying it.

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

I wrote "The Trial" on June 11, 2021, the day Darnell's Frazier—an 18 year old Black girl— received an honorary Pulitzer Prize for her video of George Floyd being murdered by those cops. Today, though, I share it because I’m struck by how it applies to Tyre Nichols as well.

The Trial I don’t watch the video but can feel it playing on a loop in a room miles away from where he keeps dying behind my eyes. All I have left are tiny twitches, small choices. “Please,” I beg alone in the box of my dark, “I don’t want to hurt that way today. I already hurt that way yesterday. Please don’t kill him again.” No one listens when I talk myself in circles, not even me. When I hurt like this, I’m just someone’s redaction, a slur the other slurs prefer not to say, used and useless while the video plays me, rewinds to unwind me, records over an old innocent video of me breathing. This video has got me against the wall or by the throat or on my back or— oh, who cares? Even my exhaustion is tired. Just pick a position, pick a “reason.” And if it doesn’t kill me the way you prefer, try again tomorrow.

World Central Kitchen has run out of food to serve in Gaza. Its bakery ("recently the last working bakery in Gaza") is out of flour. There are 100,000+ tons of food in staging areas within driving distance of Gaza, and Israel refuses to let them in wck.org/news/gaza-up...

World Central Kitchen | WCK Forced to Halt Cooking in Gaza as Supplies Run Out

After serving more than 130 million total meals and 26 million loaves of bread over the past 18 months, World Central Kitchen no longer has the supplies to cook meals or bake bread in Gaza.

I’ve spent the last 2 weeks with #Andor S2 scores as my workday soundtrack. Today, I decided to really branch out & listen to S1 scores again. How could I have forgotten that “My Name is Kino Loy” makes me well up with emotion & gives me chills? The music of Andor, both seasons, is so, so good.
